Handmade Wooden Board in Olive Ash

Description

These beautifully-made wooden boards are handmade exclusively for Divertimenti by Robert Parker in Somerset. This locally-sourced Olive Ash wood gives each board a beautiful, simple appearance that blends with any style of kitchen or table.

The board is made from a single piece of wood, rather than being spliced together. Each piece is hand selected by Robert and will be unique. The graining and pattern will vary on each board from the board illustrated here but will retain the unique beauty of the ash. Some pieces will retain their original bark to one edge.

Robert uses only locally-sourced woods, carefully stored for up to 30 years and kiln-dried in his workshop.

Each Robert Parker board bears his initials, branded to the edge of the board, as a sign of their individual craftsman-made provenance.

Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use and dry thoroughly. Avoid soaking any wooden board. To preserve the best appearance of the wood, treat with a food-grade wood mineral oil whenever the wood appears to be dry.

Please note that all board sizes are approximate – as Robert likes to utilise as much of the wood as possible, the large boards in particular are likely to exceed the stated sizes and are highly unlikely to have straight edges to their longer sides – they will follow the natural shape of the tree. The smaller boards tend to be more uniform in appearance.
